  6. Superb keynote by @LaineNooney at #INITHELLO now up on YouTube at youtube.com/watch?v=T5XVojLWIQo

    It's a talk about the historiography of the history of computing, by way of their book "The Apple II Age".

    ...my secret anxiety... is that we have vastly misunderstood the actual powers at play that have put these technologies on our desks and in our pockets.

    ...a huge part of what drove the adoption of personal computing were the financial motivations of a small, elite class of people who won so hard that they literally disappear out of the narrative about how computing became personal.

    Outstanding stuff.

  7. New blog post: my weekend at INIT HELLO, a new Apple II convention in Baltimore. I met a lot of good people, and shared my upcoming anthology Overscan. nantucketlit.com/blog/2025/08/ @init_hello @[email protected] @amin @NylaWoethief @hankg Photo by @samknutson

  8. @[email protected] I'll be sharing this video of my talk soon, but I do talk about my stance.

  9. I had a very good time at the convention in Baltimore this past weekend. It was so great to meet fellow Apple II enthusiasts.

    I'll be sharing a blog post about the event tomorrow. @init_hello

  10. I've put a gallery of photos I took during the INIT HELLO Apple II conference at the System Source Computer Museum this past weekend online for anyone who might like a look at some of the festivities.

    What a wonderful time it was! Can't wait for next year!

  15. Spotted at the System Source Computer Museum: Missile Command 3.0 running on a Xerox Alto.

    How many people wrote games for the Alto?! I wonder if this guy went on to bigger things?

  20. Meanwhile, at #INITHELLO this past weekend, a nice unassuming gentleman came up to me and asked if I had ever seen this disk "Kraking by The Disk Jockey Volume II". I had not. It is copy protected and unpreserved.

  21. Zara, who did nothing wrong, does not care about Print Shop and has barely noticed my absence all weekend while I was at #INITHELLO talking about Print Shop.

  22. Had a great time at the initial #InitHello #AppleII conference—if you ever have a chance to make it out to The Computer Museum at System Source in Hunt Valley, MD, it’s absolutely worth your while! They have incredible collections and tours: museum.syssrc.com/artifact/vis #retrocomputing #retrogaming

  23. Thank you to for the chance to talk about my Primeval Machine Book format. I've been working on this for quite a while, and I was glad to finally share it with you.

    The talk was recorded, and I will posting a transcription to my blog this week. @init_hello @dinchenix @amin @atgonzalez @rl_dane
